User Manual for Dimplex 1.5kW & 2kW DC Fan Heater

Quick guide from the manual

This Dimplex DC Fan Heater is designed for indoor residential use. To begin, place the unit on a stable, horizontal surface, plug it into a power outlet, and use the control dial to select your desired setting. Ensure the unit is not covered and kept away from flammable materials like curtains or furniture. If the unit fails to operate, check if it has been tipped over or if the overheat protection has triggered.

Safety Instructions

• Do not use in bathrooms or in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower, or swimming pool.
• Do not cover the appliance or place garments/materials on it, as this creates a fire risk.
• Keep textiles, curtains, and flammable materials at least 1 meter away from the air outlet.
• Do not use the heater if it has been dropped or shows visible signs of damage.
• Ensure the power cord is not routed under furniture or carpets and is kept away from the front of the appliance.
• Do not use the heater in small rooms occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless supervised.

Parts and Components

The heater consists of the following main parts:

• Carry handle: Located at the top for easy transport.
• Air outlet: Front grille where heat is emitted.
• Control panel: Dial for power and thermostat settings.
• Air inlet: Rear intake for air circulation.
• Oscillation switch: Located at the back to toggle the 45-degree rotation.

Operation

The heater is operated using the control dial on the front panel:

1. Fan Only: Turn the dial one click anti-clockwise. This setting produces no heat.
2. Low Power: Turn the dial to the '1' position.
3. High Power: Turn the dial to the '2' position.
4. Thermostat: Turn the dial to the desired setting to maintain a specific temperature. The unit will cycle on and off automatically.
5. Oscillation: Use the switch on the back of the unit to turn oscillation 'I OSC' on or 'O' off.

Safety Features

• Tilt Switch: Automatically stops the heater if it is tipped over. If this happens, disconnect power, allow it to cool, stand it upright, and reconnect.
• Overheat Protection: A temperature limiter turns the heater off if it overheats. It will resume normal operation once the cause of overheating is resolved.

Cleaning and Storage

It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month:

• Turn the unit OFF and disconnect from the power supply.
• Remove dust build-up using a soft brush.
• Wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth. Do not use water or liquids on the control panel.
• For storage, ensure the switch is OFF, unplug the unit, and store it upright in a location away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
